An Amazon best-seller, the Logitech G920 Driving Force is considered to be one of the best racing wheels available today.

For about $50 more, users will also get a premium shifter by Logitech with the same finish.

The Logitech G29 Driving Force, a variant of the G920, is designed to work with the Sony PlayStation 3 and 4. It features the same design and premium build as the G920, but it has a slightly different button layout.

The wheel is packed with two levers, 11 action buttons, and a D-Pad, and it's fully adjustable

The brakes offer excellent resistance, and it effectively provides a more realistic gaming environment for your racing games. Note that it's only compatible with the PS3 and PS4.
